At night, River Dam had the quiet unique to the countryside.
Jiang Ning parked his bicycle and swept the area with his Spiritual Sense. Chuchu was quietly studying inside.
He felt that lately, Chuchu had deliberately been keeping her distance from him. He did not understand why.
At this point, he might as well eat first.
Boss Yang from Agritainment had delivered fresh lamb. Jiang Ning used a Fire Spell to light the charcoal in the small grill, preparing to barbecue in the little courtyard.
They could have grilled inside the house, but since it was barbecue made on the spot, he could hardly make all the smoke vanish. Wouldn't that be treating Tongtong like an idiot?
"Chuchu hasn't come," Tongtong said as she set the table.
Jiang Ning asked, "Should we call her?"
"She's studying, probably. Let's grill the skewers first, then call her when they're done. Hehe."
As she spoke, she dipped her little hands in water and began skewering the lamb.
Jiang Ning worked alongside her. Once the skewers were ready, they placed them on the grill. Ever since eating honey-glazed Roasted Pigeon last time, Tongtong had especially wanted to try Honey Barbecue, so they had only ordered raw lamb.
As they worked, Tongtong whispered in his ear, "Listen, Jiang Ning. Brush on honey, sprinkle a layer of chili, then coat it with sesame seeds. It'll definitely be delicious!"
Jiang Ning said, "Mm-hmm. Hurry up and grill it. I'm ready to eat."
"Got it!"

Meanwhile.
At Agritainment.
Lin Zida still
